Hire an AI comparable revenue growth checker

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A gross-to-net bridge that rebuilds reported net revenue from the deductions
• An organic bridge from reported growth to comparable growth, with the order of adjustments stated
• An extra-week adjustment, shown only if the calendar supports it
• Reported growth and comparable growth side by side
• Every MISSING input and any check that could not run

How it does the job well

• Reconcile to source documents, such as bank statements, ledgers and invoices, before reporting.
• Show the calculation, inputs and period for every figure.
• Label actuals, estimates and forecasts clearly.
• Send tax, legal and regulatory questions to a qualified professional.

Mistakes it avoids

• Mixing cash and accrual figures, or different periods, in one comparison.
• Rounding or formula errors that do not tie back to totals.
• Giving personal investment advice.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: A results release says revenue grew and you need to know how much is organic.

• outputs/step-1-gross-to-net-revenue-bridge.md. Net revenue rebuilt from gross billings and deductions, tied to the report.
• outputs/step-2-organic-revenue-perimeter-bridge.md. Comparable growth after acquisitions, disposals and currency, in a stated order.
• outputs/step-3-extra-week-revenue-comparability.md. The extra-week amount and growth after it, only where the calendar supports it.
• HAND-BACK SUMMARY. Files saved, sources used, MISSING lines and checks missed.

How the work is checked

• Gross-to-net, perimeter and calendar effects do not overlap, and each acquisition, disposal and currency effect is removed once, with the order stated.
• Rebuilt net revenue ties to reported net revenue, or the gap is shown.
• Reported revenue stays primary. No unexplained gap is called organic growth.
• The extra week is removed only if the calendar shows one and step 2 has not already taken it out. The exact extra-week amount is kept.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Gross-to-net revenue bridge. Rebuilds reported net revenue from gross billings and the deductions your policies support. Fixes presentation differences before any growth is compared. Hands step 2 the reconciled reported periods. Check before moving on, net revenue ties to the report.
• Organic revenue perimeter bridge. Maps the continuing businesses. Removes acquisitions, disposals and currency effects once, with the order stated. Hands step 3 the comparable growth so far. Check before moving on, no effect is removed twice.
• Extra-week revenue comparability schedule. Applies a calendar adjustment only when the evidence supports it and step 2 has not taken it out. Keeps the exact extra-week amount and explains what is left, such as holiday timing. Check before you rely on it, nothing unexplained is called organic.

2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Gross billings and the revenue policies for deductions such as returns and rebates (from the accounts and notes)
• Reported net revenue for both periods (from the income statement)
• Revenue of businesses bought or sold, with dates (from the notes)
• Currency effects on revenue (from the issuer's currency disclosure)
• The fiscal calendar, including any extra week (from the report)

Helpful context (optional)

• The revenue note from the annual report.
• The company's own definition of organic growth.
• Prior period revenue by business.

Tools and access

• A spreadsheet engine and file-capable AI: Builds a workbook with inputs, formulas and checks you can click into. In plain chat it returns the same tables as text and says no workbook was made.
• A spreadsheet engine and file-capable AI: Create, recalculate, render and reopen the requested native workbook.
• Node.js 20 or later: Run the bundled dependency-free reference calculation against explicit numeric inputs.
• Node.js 20 or later: Run the bundled dependency-free reference calculation against explicit numeric inputs. Without it, the AI does the sums in chat.

Tasks you can use it for

• A results release says revenue grew and you need to know how much is organic.
• One year had 53 weeks and the growth rate looks too good.
• You bought or sold a business and need comparable growth for the businesses you kept.
• Gross billings and net revenue are far apart and you need the deductions explained.

Limits to check before starting

• You only need gross to net. Use the Gross to net revenue checker on its own.
• You only need to take out acquisitions, disposals and currency. Use the Like-for-like sales growth checker on its own.
• You want a trailing 12-month revenue model. Use the Comparable annual revenue modeler workflow.
• You want to judge customer cash, not revenue. Use the Contract revenue and cash checker workflow.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the workflow pack and give it to an AI that can read files, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. For a workbook, use one that can build spreadsheets.
• Attach the income statement, revenue notes and calendar. Say the periods, currency and scale once at the top.
• After step 1, check the rebuilt net revenue matches the reported figure.
• After step 2, check each acquisition, disposal and currency effect appears once, and the order is written down.
• After step 3, check the extra week is not removed twice. Fill every MISSING line before quoting a growth rate.
